The originalMoanawas considered a pretty good movie back in 2016, and Disney being Disney, you can get why it decided to expand it into a franchise with a sequel and live-action remake. But if you thought it was just a standard good Disney movie with a lot of merch and cameos in other movies, youd be a little bit wrong. Turns out, its actually been doing amazingly well on streaming for a long time, and its got the metrics to prove it. A recent Bloomberg report reveals that since it launched alongside Disney+ in November 2019, and with an extra boost thanks to the early days of the pandemic, Moanasended up as Disneys most-streamed movie of all time. Numbers-wise, audiences have watched 80 billion minutes worth of it, which equates to watching it 748 million times. Further Nielsen data shows its also been one of the four most-watched films on any streaming service on a yearly basis for the past half-decade, and for 2024 specifically, its been somewhere in the streaming Top 10 every month thus far. Add on the $687.2 million box office during its theatrical run, and its safe to say a lot of people looooooove this movie. What this means forMoana 2is that its likely going to have amassivetheatrical run in a few weeks. Box office analysts believe itll open to $135 million in North America during the five-day Thanksgiving weekend, further spurred by Fandango reporting it has the biggest first-day ticket presales of any animated film in 2024, the $1.697 billion-hit Inside Out 2included.
